“Some Americans … are now willing to let evil go unchallenged because there is a never-ending supply of it. But I say that we Americans still have a responsibility to stop mass murder when we can as long as we don’t damage our infrastructure in the process,” O’Reilly said.

O’Reilly said Assad is a “war criminal” for using poison gas, and the U.S. must show it’s resolve.

“We can send a message to every tyrant in the world: ‘Slaughter civilians and you’ll pay a steep price,’” O’Reilly said. “Many evil men and women believe the U.S.A. is weak and lacks the courage to right wrongs,” like Russian President Vladimir Putin and some in China.

O’Reilly said Obama was “correct” to go to Congress for authorization and that politics shouldn’t prevent conservatives from doing what’s right.

“Back home, we now have many conservative people willing to give Assad a pass because they’ don’t trust President Obama,” O’Reilly said. “If we sit back and do nothing, we will set up a free-fire zone where no weapons are off limits. … We will slowly lose the nobility that was gained by past sacrifice. Unfortunately, in this world, justice can be imposed by one people only: us.”
